1533 1545 Fled Inca Inka Puppet Ruled Depleted
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Manqo Inka Yupanki, the puppet emperor of the Inca Empire during a tumultuous period in history. After being installed as emperor by the Spanish conquistadors in 1533, Manqo Inka Yupanki found himself ruling over a depleted empire that had been ravaged by colonization.
Despite his title, Manqo Inka Yupanki was merely a figurehead under Spanish control, forced to carry out their orders and maintain the illusion of Inca sovereignty. However, in 1545 he made a daring escape to the east, where he attempted to assert his authority and reclaim power over what remained of his once-great empire.
The image captures the complexity and tragedy of this historical figure's story - a man caught between two worlds, struggling to navigate political intrigue and maintain some semblance of dignity amidst overwhelming odds. His journey from puppet emperor to fugitive ruler is emblematic of the larger struggles faced by indigenous peoples during this turbulent period in history.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this moment in time through their stunning photo print, allowing viewers to reflect on the legacy of Manqo Inka Yupanki and the enduring impact of colonialism on native cultures. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past and the ongoing quest for justice and reconciliation.
